Time to get rid of old pesticides!

Do you have old pesticides hanging around you need to get rid of but aren’t sure how to go about it? Well you’re in luck, the Pesticide Disposal Assistance Program or PDAP (gotta love the government’s affection of acronyms) which falls under the North Carolina Department of Ag and Consumer Sciences is starting to release their fall schedule collection dates which you can find here. According to their website this is a FREE, non-regulatory service. In other words its your no-harm, no-foul chance to get rid of out-dated or banned substances! Last year the program is said to of hauled in over 140,000lbs of unwanted pesticides!
The collection kicks off in our own Carteret County on Wednesday August 14th from 2-4pm in Morehead City. For more information please visit the Carteret County Extension page.
Other states/counties provide similar services so be sure to check with your local cooperate extension service!
